The SMB Advertising Landscape – A Massive Opportunity for Resellers
Small businesses are doubling down on digital advertising to drive sales, generate leads, and build brand awareness. However, tight budgets, limited resources, and a lack of expertise make it difficult to see results.
The SMB Advertising Challenge
- Top Business Priorities: According to the 2025 Small Business Marketing Survey by Taradel, 55.6% of SMBs prioritize increasing sales, while 19.2% focus on lead generation and 12% on brand awareness.
- Budget Constraints: 41% of SMBs spend less than $500 per month on advertising, making it difficult to achieve meaningful outcomes.
- Demand for Measurable Results: Nearly 3 in 4 SMBs consider access to performance tracking essential when choosing a marketing partner.
The Reseller Advantage
Marketing service resellers are uniquely positioned to solve these challenges by offering automated, scalable advertising solutions. Integrating a top-tier local digital advertising platform helps SMBs maximize budget efficiency and campaign performance while increasing resellers’ profitability.
Digital Advertising Remains a Priority
- 94% of SMBs plan to maintain or increase their digital marketing investments in 2025.
- Facebook (83%) and Instagram (60%) are the most-used platforms.
Why Automation Wins
Resellers who offer streamlined, user-friendly ad solutions will stand out – especially as 71% of SMBs prefer self-service marketing platforms over traditional agencies. A scalable, automation-driven platform allows resellers to:
- Handle high volumes of campaigns efficiently.
- Deliver better performance at lower costs.
- Provide SMBs with results-driven advertising without in-house expertise.
A Major Upsell: Direct Mail + Digital
Another significant finding of the 2025 SMB Survey – the integration of direct mail and digital marketing presents a major opportunity, whether through social advertising, Amazon Display, or Amazon Sponsored TV.
- 77% of SMBs using direct mail want to combine it with digital advertising.
- This strategy can boost conversion rates by 28% and brand recall by 75%.
The Bottom Line
Marketing resellers who offer bundled, multichannel solutions will capture growing demand while increasing SMB engagement, retention, and revenue growth. SMBs need cost-effective, high-impact advertising, and resellers equipped with the right automation tools can deliver just that.
